Well the Artful Bra III show was a success and it's over and I was done to say the least! ;) We left town on a spur of the moment with our friends Sheila & Jerry and headed out to the Samuel P. Taylor State Park. We were so impressed - it's the most beautiful campground we'd ever been too so far. Lush grounds with huge redwoods and oaks. Samuel Taylor was from back east I think Minnesota or Missouri, came out to California to strike it rich with gold, did just that and started up a lumber mill. It campsite is located about 12+ miles to Point Reyes and the beach area. We had great weather until the morning we left and then it poured from there all the way home! So we picked two perfect days to go.
I finally had picked up my two film Minolta's (SRT 201) that had been in the shop and loaded one with film, and also took my Canon T2i with me. Spent a little time figuring out the manual settings on the digital. Digital cameras as probably you all know, when you put it on manual you get a picture that is somewhat 'perfect' - in other words the whole thing is lightened and doesn't really depict what is actually there. Learning to use it in the manual mode you capture the scene with the actual shadows and lighting. This photo I'm posting was taken on our way out while it was raining.
